All-AMD builds are going to be very interesting when next-generation Vega graphics cards arrive. For now system integrators are having to rely on existing Radeon 500-series parts and PC Specialist settles on the Radeon RX 570 in XFX livery. Essentially a tweaked and higher-clocked version of the ageing RX 470, this sub-£250 GPU offers a level of performance similar to that of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060.

Performance in modern titles is excellent at the ubiquitous full-HD resolution and there's decent mileage at 2,560x1,440 QHD, too. 4K UHD however is a step too far.
